Private treatment room with a bathroom nearby. Waxing services were clearly explained to me before we started. Questions were answered. I felt totally at ease by the time I climbed onto the waxing bed. As per the website, I had taken some Advil beforehand and was very well hydrated. The waxing itself was effecient and not as uncomfortable as I was expecting. Phew. I had my legs and underarms done. It has been a couple hours and all redness is gone. I love the results and entire experience, so have already booked my next two appointments. Thank you!

Marina, who is the girl that runs the place is a pro. She's gentle enough, but able to remove the stubborn hairs. She's also quite easy going and will listen to your concerns. I'll be going back for follow up appointments now. The address is correct, Savvy is actually located in the room in the back of the hair salon.

The lobby is decorated with their standard purple and white decor, clean and simple design. The girl at the front desk was very pleasant and friendly. My appointment was pushed back 10min with no notice, but not a huge dealbreaker for me. Vanessa was great, and made you feel comfortable without being too chatty. Love that you can easily book appointments online. The pricing is definitely on the high end, but it was convenient, the room and equipment were clean, and they did a good job.

The previous manager/staff is no longer there so I am back at this outlet…read more I still prefer to go to a place which specializes in waxing and they do train their staff. Sometimes the management will ask existing customers via email if they will like to be "model" for the trainee staff to practice on. It will be a free treatment and you provide feedback on the experience. Pretty much a win-win situation. Covid-19 safety protocol is in place here. To minimize waiting inside, you are asked to come in at your appointment time. Mask is to be worn at all times. Hand sanitizer is there. Even before covid, this place already practices cleanliness with disposable paper cover on the treatment bed and pillow. One time use of spatula. No double dipping of wax. I definitely feel safe in here. The prices have gone up quite a fair bit by $5 or so and I hope it will remain stable. If it gets too expensive, I may either consider DIY or find other places or only go occasionally instead of regularly.

After several treatments I noticed I was being tweezed with a few zaps here and there. She offered me a"deal" cuz I was a single mother, where in reality I was paying $65 for 15 min of tweezing. My final visit she told me I needed to wear deodorant and that I reeked of BO and said this infront of people in the waiting room and made me feel terrible about myself. I went home and asked people if it had odour that was strong and I did not i had fresh laundered clothing and just showered , so basically she didn't like my perfume i guess and decided to make me feel bad about it. I told her that she made me feel really awful about myself and her response to it was to leave me a voice message saying how wonderful of a mother I am..... No apology no accountability nothing. I have since gone to a new electrolisys and let me tell you that I know for a fact now with experiencing proper electrolisys I was being ripped of and charged for tweezing. Not only I a single mother who struggles to make things happen she made me think she was doing me a wonderful service and kindness where in reality she was taking advantage of and ripping off a single mother. I do t care if she is manic bipolar or whatever she claims it's no excuse for belittling and ripping off a client knowing they are a single mother and gaslighting them. Shame on you ! Silver lining I know what actual proper electrolisys feel is like so i won't be scammed again! And side note she has no clue what kind of mother I am she saw me hand my kid a tablet for 15 minutes while she tweezed my face! i went to at least 6 treatments first one was free and each one after that was $65 ....So I got ripped off $325 as a single mother so I hope she feels good about herself. Not to mention she would actively complain about other clients to me....red flag right there! But at least I didn't invest thousands of dollars in to treatments that were simply tweezing. With proper electrolisys you do not feel the hair being plucked from your face! And as for being told I reek in front of a full waiting room so unprofessional. I want a refund but that's not going to happen seeing as she couldn't even acknowledge how rude and unprofessional she was. Oh but thanks for thinking i'm such a good mom ‍ I have a follow with this, She offered to send me a "donation" from her so called homeless and single parent foundation as a way to "help" me and in no ways was it cuz she ripped me off and then just never did and is no long replying to my messages I am going to post the texts on google review as well. Oh and then said she can have my treatments covered by MSP now...

Okay so it took two years to get into Limina for a facial, but after a rough week and a requirement…read morefor some pampering, I called up this morning requesting a facial. Limina has a plethora of options for facials, so much so that I really had no idea what I wanted or needed. so when I arrived Jessica walked out to greet me, looking at my skin. Yes, it is a little unnerving, but it's what I asked for... and she promptly decided on my skin care treatment. She lead me into a room with what can only be described as the most comfortable facial bed ever. I got undressed and into the soft sheets by the time she was back. Jessica takes her time and does things rhythmically and methodically. While other facials have included painful extraction, Jessica's was... well, heavenly. The extraction was literally pain and thus flinch free. And while your scrubs/steams/masks/lotions are working their magic, her hands are working their magic on you. One of the most relaxing massages in memory. I signed up for their membership, which I wasn't planning to do... but 30% off any treatment once a month? That makes it affordable to come in and get a facial regularly. And the facials? Are heaven. Particularly when you're in Jessica's hands. The entire experience cost less than expected, which pleased me greatly.

I have visited Limina three times in the past year or so, each time to have my eyebrows shaped. The…read morefirst two visits were very good experiences: I left with perfectly shaped eyebrows that really complemented my face. However, two days ago I went in for another eyebrow wax with the same esthetician, and came out with a very different result. I asked her to please leave the body of my brow the same width and simply to clean up and define the outline and remove stray hairs. I emphasized that I didn't want the width of my brows to change significantly, and that symmetry was my #1 priority. I also told her that my eyebrow hairs are quite easy to kill off and I would prefer trimming over tweezing/waxing if applicable. Well..... I came out with both eyebrows significantly thinner, asymmetrical in width and length, and with a patch of unwaxed hairs under my right arch. I shared these concerns with the esthetician. She mumbled something about how one side probably wouldn't grow back and hustled me out of the room. She had already applied eyebrow makeup (which I didn't want due to my concerns about infection, esp on freshly waxed skin) without asking me, and this made it even more difficult to really assess the situation, but when I went home, washed my face and really had a look, I was horrified. I have attached a picture below for you all to see for yourselves. I tried calling Limina. I told the receptionist my issue, and she immediately said she'd call me back. Once she did, all she said was "Sure, I guess you can come back now if you want her to fix it." Having been burned already, with a response like that, you can imagine that I didn't return and never will.

Being new to the area I wanted to find a salon that would be close, skilled and enjoyable…read more I feel fortunate in my choice of this location. I'm not sure if the name is accurate lol. They were available for a same-day appointment, reserved only a few hours in advance. The only detractor of the location are the parking costs of being in "Downtown" New Westminster on a Sunday. From the moment coming in to the salon I was joyfully greeted by Trish , who was happy to accommodate my request for a little distance from other unmasked customers, even though it meant starting up a new pedicure chair. As an immuno compromised person, I still take care in enclosed spaces. I can sometimes be made to feel a burden by such requests even with available space. There was a substantial amount of nail polish colours to choose from and no extra charge if you selected something sparkly. My nail technician, Amy, was friendly and professional over the rough state of my feet. When you have a busy schedule and pedicures aren't possible, some places put a lot of effort into trying to make you feel bad about your feet being rough. I was very glad that this place wasn't like that because it definitely changes the enjoyment level of something that is meant to be a relaxing bit of self-care. Trish noticed my broken fingernail and suggested fixing it. she said the price for, a polish change versus full mani was only five dollars so I went ahead with the full Mani Pedi. There was a bit of a hiccup with both my color choices not coming out the way they seemed on the examples but both Trish and Amy were helpful in sorting it out to my satisfaction. Amy thoughtfully touched base with me throughout the Mani Pedi to make sure that nothing hurt and I was feeling OK. Lovely service that included hot towels and leg massage. I look forward to visiting them another time.

Jeanie and Tui worked well together, responsive, most pleasant, and with great skills.

Pure bliss. My daughter was equally pleased with her dip gel manicure and Eyebrow Threading. She found both to be quick, efficient, most reasonably priced, and professionally executed. Great choice of colors, too. We will definitely be back when next in the area.

Had a lovely time yesterday!…read more My friend was the one who arranged the appointment. I didn't ask for the specifics, but it seemed like she either was texting or messaging someone directly, and was able to get us an appointment around the time when they were opening. We walked in at exactly our appointed time, and they had our seats waiting for us. They only had four employees at the time, and two of them were already assisting other customers, so my friend and I hopped into our seats to be assisted next,, while the hubby enjoyed the massage chair while he waited. This ended up being three manis and pedis, plus gels for all nails for the girls, and took around 1.75 hours because my friend was able to get some very cute hearts on top of the gels. Very, very thorough. They were able to clip my toe nails short and round, and did general maintenance on all nails/cuticles. The massages were great, too. Something that I really liked was that they try their best to not have the gel hit your skin; it's literally just a hair away from the skin at all directions. And the products they use were very good, as I haven't had any sort of skin reaction that I've had at other salons. The staff was hands-down amazing. They asked what we wanted, and they delivered every time. My friends' nails came out super-cute, and I'm very happy with mine. And the hubby's mani/pedi were possibly a little bit of a challenge (he has weird nails), but they got through it as much as they could. Would happily come back!!

Paige is the best! She did my Relaxation Massage and it is indeed relaxing!…read more I happen to be recovering from some type of flu virus. I decided to do hot yoga that day at 9:30 am. Although yoga helped making me feel better, I decided to go for a massage. I was trying my luck that day to get accommodated without reservation. I walked in, was greeted by the lovely receptionist and asked how she can help me. I told her I wanted a massage. She checked her computer and luckily I only have to wait 1 hour. This Eccotique branch is conveniently located inside Metrotown mall. I could definitely spend 1 hour window shopping. Five minutes prior to my appointment I was already back at Eccotique. I was lead inside and was asked to sit on a couch and wait for my masseuse. I was offered water or tea while I wait. After five minutes, my masseuse came and introduce herself. My masseuse' name is Paige. She then lead me to a private room. The room is of adequate size. Enough for a massage bed and for the masseuse to move around. I was asked to sit on the bed and was told to close my eyes. Paige then pressed her oil damped thumb on my forehead as she asked me to inhale deeply. She did this 3 times each with different aroma oil. I ended up choosing the Rosemary Mint oil. Paige then stepped out of the room and asked me to undress and go under the sheets face down. While waiting, I noticed the relaxing music playing in the background. I hear the sounds of the ocean and then birds. It was really pleasant to the ears. Before starting the massage, Paige asked if I have any injury or if I have parts of my body that I don't want pressure on. I am typically healthy so went for a full body massage. It was heavenly. I like that Paige would always check if the pressure is acceptable. I'm not a masochist. I don't like hurting myself more so paying the person who hurts me! I like my massage to be just right. I can say I went out of that spa a changed person. I felt so relax and loose. It felt like I can do another round of 90 minute hot yoga. This spa is highly recommended.

He said "yes. I said you don't like the colour and I said it's a bit late now hahaha." Humiliated, I started to cry. As I paid, clearly upset by the experience, I was asked what happened- when I explained I received no apology, and no understanding.
